Yeah not seeing that conversion rate at https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/personal/get-support/convert-currency.html


Fuck the conversion rate, the games are still cheaper, and buying them is finally as easy as it was before (no buying gift cards on eneba or gifting yourself TF2 keys from a different account)

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong this is far better than the eneba ultra marked up prices for 1000 ars. Still a bit pissed that after ~15 years I finally had to give steam my real address... laaaaaaaaaaaaame Neutral

account B: store location somewhere cheap (diego/putin/erdogan)

buy steam gift card for X€ on account A (paypal et al)

MK11 got price increase by 8 times in Turkey. 82 vs 669. Even with 80% off it is still more expensive than it was last year.

Better get those cheap games while you can since more and more are getting +500% price increases:

Seeing latest pricing on Uncle Recep's quaked Steam Store, I switched back to Uncle Pedro. Especially with the continuing freefall of ARS (vs increasing TL) it's a good switch I think. Could even switch back myself this time instead of using some local Argentinian-Turkmen

Is it easy to swap store, just by using a VPN? I thought they had cracked down on it

Also which country has the best value/cheapest games?

Using a VPN has always worked, but you need a local payment method, that's the problem. Argentina has VISA and MasterCard. I couldn't get VISA to work, but MC worked.

And LOL @ RDR2 pricing, they can fuck off with such pricing.

but dont you need a Visa FROM Argentinia? or can i just use my EU visa and enter fake name/address? heard that was getting accounts banned (no source though)

alternatively , buying a ARS gift card should work and pay w that upon checkout (w vpn active ofc)?

Most games starting from 2023 will follow the new recommended Steam pricing scheme, which jacks up prices by at least 500% for Argentina and Turkey.

Previously I used some virtual cc cards from a service we have here in portulol, but those stopped working a few years back. Last thing that worked was using my mastercard debit card with my real name and address but leaving the country as Argentina.
If I get banned I'll let you know Very Happy

On the plus side the Argentinian peso lost half of its worth since last year ( I guess it's time for another national bankruptcy) so it's a bit more bearable.

VISA doesn't work (I have tried 2 different VISAs), you need MasterCard to switch. You don't need one from Argentina, at least I didn't need it (YMMV).

@zTurbo @Areius Cheers!

Currently using the Argentina store but saw the ridiculous price increases. My Mastercard works when buying from the store Smile

I can confirm that a Mastercard works.

I used a one-time virtual card via Revolut and I was able to buy wallet funds in ARS, though the transaction took 8 hours to be accepted by Steam Very Happy

I was sweating bullets during that time.

Exchange rate was normal, but still yay, no more need to sell keys and pay steam tax.
And even with the recent changes to recommended pricing Argentina is cheaper than USD/EUR/PLN zones, though not by much when it comes to AAA titles.
